First video tonight..

 

[polly]

now thats what i call a clean bunny Peg. I love his markings round his eyes he will be gorgeous when he grows up. and so cute being tranced

 

[maherwoman]

Aww...I've officially meltered, Peg...

So, what are your plans for these little babes?

 

[TinysMom]

I was afraid someone was going to ask me that....and the answer is... "I don't know". A lot of my decision is going to depend upon some things....like if their fur goes teddy style or stays slick...and what gender they are.

Right now, Al & Piggie have the head style I'm looking for. I love Al's butterfly markings on the nose. If Al is a girl, she is most likely staying...if Al is a buck...I may keep him depending upon how he compares to his father.

The one most likely to be adopted out as a pet is Beckett. To me, his/her head looks more like a Netherland dwarf head (check out Polly's blog for her babies) vs. the rounder look I'm going for in the head. Also the ears are....big. I'm trying to breed away from that and I'm sort of shocked at Beckett's face and ears given what the parents look like.

Piggie has such a tranquil personality- as you can tell from the trancing video. And Ziggy is....well.....Ziggy is Ziggy. In some ways, he/she reminds me of Drew...and has from the time I took him/her from Isenstar to give to Girly Girl. Ziggy most definitely has a mind of his/her own and will NOT let us work with him/her to learn to be tranced or even to be held (much). We tried to see if Ziggy was a boy or girl and I thought it was going to kick our faces off....very feisty. I love Ziggy's markings. Lately when I go in the living room, half of the time GG is in the nestbox and Ziggy is out running around.

I have breeders who are interested in the litter if I let any go (depending upon how showable they are) but I am thinking about petting them out if I let them go...I just haven't decided.

So I guess I'll have to wait and see if they stay slick....if they do....then they will most likely stay here.

Beautiful!

If only I lived closer...

NO MORE! NO MORE! NO MORE!:biggrin2:

 

[maherwoman]

Aww...I've meltered once again...

 

[TinysMom]

I can't get photobucket to accept my other two videos - they are 8 minutes long and I have a pro account so I should be able to do a 10 minute video..... ARG.

Anyway - here is another one of trancing Piggie..

It looks like my other two videos are too big and I don't know how to edit a quicktime movie...

:shock:

 

[maherwoman]

That is just stunningly precious, Peg...how adorable!!

Hmm...maybe try PM'ing Steph or other computer-savvy people to ask how to edit the other videos?

We have one name change....and some other things to share.

As some of you may know - I deliberately did this breeding at the time I did it in order to get DOES. I've read websites where folks swear by breeding by the moon....and one chart which was based on breeding by the zodiac predicted that the breedings done (when I did them) would produce the best DOES of the year.

Well, now that the babies are 3 weeks old, Robin & I decided to try and see who is what.

Beckett is now BECKY....and I'm about 90% sure she is a doe...so is Robin.

Ziggy is probably a boy (I think) and Robin thinks Ziggy might be a girl.

Al is still Al...a buck....and very much like Al Calavici (sp?) in Quantum Leap....

and Piggy is most likely a buck.

So....the only one of the litter that I was like..."Don't want to keep that one based on the head/ears" ... is a doe.

The others are bucks....I think.

I'm still going to give it three more weeks to let them develop some before I make the final decisions on who stays and who goes...Al has the best markings...Piggie has the head and ears I wanted and Ziggy has nice markings...but I can only keep so many.

Part of the problem is - Piggy has the personality of a flemish (Ziggy has the personality of a holland lop).....and I adore the flemish personality.

ARG!
